I think you're really going to struggle. The introduction date for this machine was April 1998. Perhaps buy a scrap one to take parts off?

100kg plus shipping for an 2g/2cm plastic part?
No there has to be some other possibility. And as we are working in non-commercial ways, there is no pressure that it has to work next week. I love to use old machines that are working in general. And this one has below 2.000.000 copys and is in well condition. Also it is completely wired to throw away a working machine because of such a small problem, even if Ricoh offered me a new one for just 8k bucks
